Abstract
A tool for the attachment of a solderless, compression-fit end connector to the end of a coaxial cable, in which tool the components of the connector and the two-level stripped coaxial cable are positioned and then a manually lever-operated piston within the tool forces the components and the cable together, locking the connector to the cable and providing a sealed chamber in which the braid connection is made. In a preferred embodiment, the connector attachment mechanism is located at one end of the tool and a two-level coaxial cable stripper is located at the other end of the tool.
